| - After 6 different trips to Vegas, I finally got to visit Tryst two weeks ago. First off, IMO I think it's the nicest club I've seen in Vegas so far. The fountain is beautiful, and the decor is very chic. Not to mention on an extremely hot summer night like when I was there, the breeze coming off the fountain is extremely nice.
Now to get it out of the way here are the bad things about the club. If you're not doing bottle service, getting a drink is pretty damn expensive here, even compared to other LV clubs. I think a Red Bull & Vodka ran around $15 and a Long Island was close to $17 or $18. So guys, if you're planning on drinking (or paying for) more than 4-5 drinks at Tryst, you might as well get a table (if you're with a group).
Also there are not enough bars for this size club, and it also appeared like there were not enough bartenders either. Because again even compared to other major night clubs in LV, it seemed like an eternity to finally get my drink.
Although I did not do bottle service this time around, I have done bottle service at other clubs and have researched bottle service at Tryst a few other times. Their pricing is one of the most expensive on the strip. Easily about $50-100 more per bottle than the other clubs. Also while walking in the club, they even have tables that aren't even really IN the club. Pray you don't get stuck there.
Also I noticed there weren't many servers/assistants per table, and there were definitely no velvet ropes & bouncers to make space for people who paid for bottle service. This is a huge part of the VIP treatment, and I just feel like people who were paying for bottle service at Tryst given the above may not have been getting their money's worth compared to other clubs like Tao or Jet.
Anyway if you're going to do bottle service, if you're going on a hot day. I recommend outside near the fountain. It's much cooler than inside, you get a beautiful view and unlike Tao, even if you're outside, the doors are all opened up so it doesn't feel like you're separated from the rest of the club. You're still in the action, but at the same time will have your own private area so you're not stuck with too many people walking by and annoying you. Space to dance, etc.
How's the scene here. Primarily white crowd in their mid 20s. The mix is definitely 60/40 girls to guys ratio. And to tell you the truth, I didn't see nearly as many douche Jersey Shore wannabes as in other clubs here. So I actually enjoyed the crowd. Just watch out for people who don't know how to walk through a crowd holding a cigarette. But then again that's any club.
Oh for you guys out there, the go-go dancers are pretty hot. Although believe it not, I think one of the bartenders was actually hotter than the go-go dancers. But Tao does a much better job with their girls kicking back practically naked in bathtubs thing.
Anyway, I still think Tryst is a beautiful club. Thankfully I was a guest of the hotel. So I did not have to wait in line to get in, all I had to do was pay admission in advance, but much easier and cheaper to get in the club then paying for a table ( I wasn't with a large group this time).
I am curious to do bottle service sometime in the future here, but again given the pricing and the service appearance (compared to the other places I've done bottle service). I may hold back. The fountain is definitely cool though, and the half inside half outside dance floor was awesome as well.
